....oh.

He has missed some stuff hasn't he?

What even happened, he was texting Mei literally just a few days ago before he showed up here, and none of this was happening.

He takes a shuddering breath. Everything feels like a rollercoaster. He pushes himself to his feet, unsteady a moment as his hand reaches out to MK's shoulder to stabilize himself.

"We're going inside. I'm going to make some tea. I need to process the good things you've told me, and apparently all the nonsense that I missed," he said and paused. "The Jade Emperor...I assume reality is stabilized if we're at the beach, that makes sense."

Another shakey breath and he pulls out his key to move to the door. "I have no opinions on your intelligence in regards to home yet. I do on you taking strange pills. I need to get some things to scan you, see if its anything terrible. I will have a response to...all of that, but I-"

He shakes his head, rubs at his eyes. MK was clearly hurting. He should say something, offer something. Even a little good thing. Right?

"I'm very happy my family was with yours at the beach," he said. Awkward, stilted, but sincere nonetheless as he opens the door and steps inside.
